🚨 URGENT: Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Committee on the Judiciary, issued the following statement on Trump’s presidential memorandum to the Department of Justice targeting ActBlue, an online platform utilized by Americans to support Democratic campaigns at all levels of government:

Work in progress, larger than I usually work, so I’m going super slowly and very deliberately.

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling. What is Mr. Trump doing about this? He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.

Do you love the ocean? It needs your voice now more than ever! Calling Congress is one of the most powerful ways to protect our blue planet—and it only takes a few minutes! 📞 www.youtube.com/shorts/-X2_N...

Elon Musk calling government social services a “Ponzi scheme” is peak right-wing projection. He’s made billions of dollars thanks to government contracts paid for with OUR tax dollars — from NASA + Pentagon contracts to subsidies for his companies AND cleaning up his companies’ environmental messes.

The crabs know what's up. Strategise! Organise! Carcinise!

This administration continues to assault Social Security, but these are EARNED benefits, and we won't let them disappear. This Wednesday, I am hosting a townhall to hear from you. I hope you'll join me in person or on our YouTube live stream.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone. But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves. This is the beauty of solidarity.

The ban on fisheries in the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument (PIHMNM) was lifted. Cuts affected those who have spent years caring for wildlife at Kuaihelani (Midway Atoll) surrounding #PapahānaumokuākeaMarineNationalMonument. See comment for more protectpih.com/statement-on...

Incredible anemone. We don't need AI to make wild and beautiful creatures. They're right here. We should be focusing on preserving the beauty we have. #okeanos #saveNOAA

Red currants flowering in the neighborhood.

Trump, the so-called dealmaker, now wants to delay Medicare from negotiating drug prices. Eli Lilly charges Americans $1,080 for the diabetes drug Mounjaro when the same drug can be purchased for $200 in Japan and $520 in the U.K. Is this what Trump means by America First?

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

2025-04-14 It was a beautiful day to do some observations at the South Jetty Osprey nest. Busy birds working on building up the nest with sticks from the woods at South Beach.

4-12-25 Wonderful alcohol ink class by Jocelyn at the Newport Paper and Book Arts Festival. I learned so much!

Typical bad boss behavior: treat workers terribly, realize they don’t like you, then spy on them and punish them after they start talking about you. Pathetic.

The Trump administration defied a judge’s order to explain how it planned to bring a wrongly deported Maryland man back to the United States.

EMERGENCY MASS MOBILIZATION TO PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS 📅 Saturday, April 12 ⏰ 5 pm 📍 Times Square, 43rd St. & 7th Ave. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. We must stand up and stand together for Mahmoud Khalil, for free speech, for immigrants, for students, for each other.

Pupping season has begun on the Oregon Coast, with harbor seals leaving pups on shore as they look for food. If you see a pup, keep your distance! Mom will likely be back soon, but she won't return until the area is clear. Report hurt pups to the Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 1-866-767-6114.

Share this list, so anyone in these districts can be proactive starting today. This isn't something that we should sit on, action to unseat them should start now.
